AML/CFT Compliance Officer Advanced

An experienced compliance officer rarely struggles with the rules. The difficulty is the judgement underneath them: how much monitoring is enough, whether a structure is complex because the business is complex or because someone wanted it that way, how to reduce an alert backlog without lowering the bar, and how to present a programme with known weaknesses to a regulator who will find them anyway. Two days on those questions, for people already carrying the responsibility.

Programme Agenda

Institutional Risk Assessment

Building a defensible enterprise-wide assessment across customer, product, channel, geography and delivery. Weighting, aggregation, and the link from the assessment to actual control calibration rather than a document filed annually.

Complex Ownership and Control Structures

Layered holding companies, nominee arrangements, trusts and foundations. Working out control where ownership is diffuse, and deciding when opacity itself becomes the red flag.

Trade-Based Money Laundering

Over and under invoicing, phantom shipping, multiple invoicing and misdescription of goods. Documentary indicators, price benchmarking, and why trade finance monitoring fails when it copies retail rules.

Tuning a Transaction Monitoring System

Above-the-line and below-the-line testing, threshold and segmentation changes, measuring alert productivity, and documenting a tuning decision so it survives challenge. Handling a vendor model you cannot see inside.

Alert Backlogs and Remediation Programmes

Running a file remediation or backlog clearance without creating a second problem. Sampling, prioritisation by risk, quality assurance, and reporting progress honestly to the board.

Exiting a Relationship

Deciding to terminate, the sequencing that avoids tipping off, obligations that survive exit, and managing the commercial pressure that arrives with the decision.

Regulator Engagement and Examination

Preparing for a Bank Negara examination, presenting a programme with known gaps, responding to findings, and negotiating realistic remediation timelines. What makes a response credible.

Case Work

Extended cases across two sectors. Participants perform a risk assessment, defend a monitoring calibration decision and draft a findings response, then have each challenged by the group.

Learning Outcomes:
Build an institutional AML/CFT risk assessment that drives control calibration
Determine control and beneficial ownership through layered structures
Detect trade-based laundering indicators in documentary trade
Tune a transaction monitoring system and document the decision defensibly
Run a remediation or backlog programme with credible quality assurance

Frequently Asked Questions

Compliance officers with at least two years in the role, heads of compliance, MLROs, financial crime analysts, and internal auditors reviewing AML programmes.

Working knowledge of CDD, screening and STR filing. The programme does not revisit them except where an advanced judgement depends on the detail. Participants newer to the role should take the Essentials programme first.

No, deliberately. The tuning module works on principles that apply to any system, including one whose model logic your vendor will not disclose. Participants bring their own alert statistics for the exercises where they can.

It is built from published enforcement outcomes, supervisory expectations and common finding patterns rather than on any confidential examination material.

Yes. Any programme can be booked as a team day. Everyone works the same brief together, so your people come away having built something and knowing each other better.

If you are claiming under HRD Corp, the session has to fall at least 14 days after your HRD Corp approval. If you are not claiming, the date is flexible and we work around your calendar.

Put them on the self-paced e-learning instead. Your team works through the modules on our LMS in their own time, sits the assessment, and earns the same certificate, so nobody has to clear a full day together.
